Default threw a rod cause of nitrous.

nitrous was kicked in and then the motor just threw a rod . i was only running a 55 shot. but oh well i guess now i have an excuse to get a bigger motor. what sucks is i just installed the zex kit 3 days ago and this was my 2nd time ever using nitrous since the installation. but just thought i'de tell ya guys. im kinda bummed out cause now i gotta walk everywhere intill i get a new motor. i have full coverage insurance too but they dont cover the motor. weired huh? the car is being towed to my hose right now so ill have to take a better loook at it and then ill try to get some pics up. so you guys can see the damage too. bad day for me.

maybe your fuel pump couldn't keep up.. did you change the fuel filter like i said???

ive never in all my time working on hondas heard of a car breaking on such a small shot when everything was done correctly.. NOT talking shit.. just saying there had to be some kind of error?
